Mendrisio 24 hours race 2004
13.06.2004 In spite of the black clouds that crowded up around the Casvegno park, the 9th edition of the 24 hours race of Mendrisio was blessed with good weather, and many spectators came to clap their hands to the 830 bikers that ran on the 6 kilometers long track all through the night.

Pain painted onto Christian Paparelli's face, who did lead the extreme no limits class for many laps. Behind him a biker of the Immoprogramm team, which finished in 6th position

At the end of the 24 hours the first ones to pass the line were the 6 racers of the Porta Verde team, who did cover a distance of over 580 kilometers. Sorlenghia Team got second place, just 9 minutes behind, while Bici Bike 93 got third place.

In the extreme no limits class (individual race), Reto Pezzoli got first place for the second year in a row. Renato Crivelli, for the first time in Mendrisio, got second place, while Christian Paparelli, the winner of the 2002 edition, finished his effort at the third place.
